Romance OF a 200. Pound Beauty,

A New Haven special says: James Nc
CHM, farmer, OF Bethany, told the chief
OF police to-day that Edward Dennis, aged
twenty-slx, a man described as tall and
slim, had eIoped with his seventeen.year.
old daughter, Lille McGinn, some time du.
ring the night, and that he believed that the
couple had come 10 this city. The alarm
was at once sent out, and the New York
boat and the trains were carefully watched
for the clippers. Mr.. McGinn Is pros.
porous farmer, and has snug little home
Ia Bethany. Lille Is rather. pretty aud
n buXom country lass-more buXom, in
deed, than the ordinary Connecticut lass.
Her father puts her weight at over
175 pounds, but others who know her esti-
mate her avoIdupois at 200 pounds. Dem
MS was employed by Mr.. McGinn "a a
farmland several weeks ago. About a
week ago Mr.. McGinn and his wife noticed
that he was by far too attentive 70 their
daughter Lille, and that Lille seemed
rather fascinated by the light.moustached
hired man. McGinn discharged Dennis
yesterday morning. Dennis had short
interview with the farmers big daughter
before leaving the McGinn household, and
then be starred for Westville, where he
got a team from Nesbits livery-stable, As
soon as It was dark Dennis drove
back to Bethany and bitched the
team under the shed, IN the rear
OF the Episcopal church. Mr.. McGinn went
10 bed about O'Clock, and at that
time Lille was in her own room. This
morning, however, she was gone. To
days developments showed that the clippers
drove directly TO this city. distance OF
about twelve miles. T ey went to the
Nesbit Brothers stables, on Grown street,
and Dennis told the hostler that be wanted
to leave the horse over night ard that he
would call for IL again between 8 and o
O'Clock to-day. The hostler did not know
them, but he noticed that the big girl acted
very much scared and was nearly chilled to
death. When the couple started 10 leave
the stable Office the hostler noticed thai
Dennis took Lille BY the arm az though 1t
was necessary TO drag her along.
Defective Reilly searched all the second
and tbird-class hotels in the city to-day for
the couple, but heard no tidings OF the
eloDers. Dennis Is said to have but about
$40 with him. and the detective thinks
they have gone to Bridgeport.
just before Mr.. McGinn lodged his COM
plsint with Chief. of-Police Baltmann John
Nesbit, OF Nesbit Brothers, had reported
the failure Of Dennis to return the vehicle
and horse, not having heard from the
CTown.street stable.

Schuylkili river this morning. Mr.. Engle,
with no companion but his dogs and gun,
